banzai510(hainz) Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 try to put a new gasket on if possible Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hold it! Mark the location of the distributor and unbolt and lift it out. Have someone hold the drive spindle down inside with pliers because sure as shit when the pump is lifted out there is nothing to support the spindle and it will fall out. It is a total bitch to get it back in the same location without affecting the distributor timing. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 MIke I think he want to move it a tooth. Other thread says he can only get it to 10deg max. UNless its a Matchbox with the wrong pedastal. put on TDC and start from biginning Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Have rags ready and keep the pump vertical so it doesn't loose it's prime. Might loose 1/8 cup or less. The gasket is reusable if not torn. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks again Larry Quote Link to comment
zed Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 when the pump is lifted out there is nothing to support the spindle and it will fall out. It is a total bitch to get it back in the same location without affecting the distributor timing. this is v good advice - can't tell how many times I've screwed it up.To the OP, remember to prime the pump when you replace it, otherwise you will start your motor without oil pressure. Don't ask how I know this Quote Link to comment
